Gee Diane,
I am completely confused. See why I think numbers are terrible?
I think I go by the day. A baby born on May 16 will be four days on May 20.
However, even my little guidelines are a *guideline*. After all, babies can
lose a ton of weight in the first four days, getting almost nothing, but
then the milk increases a lot and they start doing well. Main thing is to
make sure the babies are drinking at the breast.
